First off, sorry for the length of the post..my daughter is 10 about to turn 11 and has been pitching since February. We’ve done lessons here and there for about two years, practiced in the yard occasionally, but February, she decided to fully commit, so we’ve been doing lessons weekly and trying to practice about three times a week in the yard. She just finished her all-stars in 10u and are about to make the 12in ball transition.
I’ve been lurking on this site for a couple months. Her PC has been great and has helped her tremendously. She teaches straight arm delivery, meaning the arm stays straight throughout the pitch until the wrist snap, but has never come out and said hello elbow. Since we are moving to 12u in the fall, I figured now is a good time to get her pitching the right way with IR. Again, I’m new to IR, and she’s never been taught it, but I’ve noticed that she pitches considerably faster and more accurate than anyone else in the league and took some slow motion videos to see exactly what’s going on.
I’ve attached a link to a video of her below pitching from a balance board. She has a slight leaping problem that I’m hoping to help fix this off season as well. Can the experts in IR on the boards tell me if she’s naturally throwing with IR even though she hasn’t been taught it and provide any suggestions from where she is at this point and how to progress? I plan on using the drills that boardmember illustrated on the stickys. Thanks in advance!
